The little crybaby lost all his vest after being read by the prince.

It would be better if he didn't mention Yu Guiren, but Mu Xichen would be even more angry when he mentioned Yu Guiren.

Previously, because the old man took the initiative to punish someone, he didn't bother the Yu family. However, this family actually came to provoke his Yingying, forcing him to settle old and new accounts together.

"I want to ask you, what did you do at Zuixiangju that day?"

Yu Junji was stunned. What else could he do in Zuixiangju? Of course it was to eat and drink. But why did the prince ask such a simple question? There must be no deep meaning.

"Your Highness is asking you, why are you so dazed!"

"Yes, yes, that day, Cao Min had a party with some friends, and they had a few drinks together. Cao Min was not strong enough to drink. After a few drinks, he no longer knew what was going on. That's when he bumped into Miss Lin..."

No matter what, let's admit it first. A good man doesn't want to be praised in front of him. I hope his parents will act quickly and let the noble sister rescue him quickly.

Yu Junji talked incoherently about what happened that day, fearing that he would be dealt with if he stopped, "Your Highness Mingjian, the common people really didn't do anything. They just drank too much and didn't control their mouths, but I didn't say anything. After saying that, he was kicked away..."

"What? Did you feel wronged?"

"No, no, it's all the common people's fault..."

Hearing this, Mu Xichen was sure that no one was playing tricks, so he signaled Shangguan Xiao to take the people down. This frightened Yu Junji, "Spare me, I really didn't do anything, please forgive me, Your Highness." Let me do it this time, I will never dare to do it again."

Shangguan Xiao glanced over, and the imperial guard who was escorting Yu Junji immediately took out a piece of handkerchief and stuffed it into Yu Junji's mouth. Yu Junji couldn't cry out. He was like a fish out of water, flopping around, but he was still confused. Put on a black cloth and drag him out.

Mu Xichen went over Yu Junji's words in her heart, and after making sure that nothing was omitted or inappropriate, she put it aside completely and said, "Teach me a lesson and then put it back."

"Yes."

"Go and check the guards of Yinan Palace, especially the one who takes the lead."

Shangguan Xiao said, "Did your Highness find anything wrong with him?"

Mu Xichen said, "Only one thing is wrong. His prestige is higher than Cheng Xiaoxiao."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiao's heart trembled, "I'm going to investigate right now."

If that's the case, it's definitely not normal.

You must know that King Cheng Zuxiong of Yinan only got a daughter when he was nearly half a century old. He regarded her as a treasure and it hurt more than his eyes. He had long threatened that the Yinan Palace would be handed over to her in the future, and she would be the future King of Yinan. Against this background, if there are still people who don't take Cheng Xiaoxiao seriously, it can only be said that there must be something fishy involved.

The Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet was held in the evening, but they couldn't miss the time when entering the palace for the banquet. They couldn't let the emperor wait for them, so Mrs. Lin and Lin Qishan started preparing in the afternoon, and entered the palace while the sun was still high on the west mountain. .

Lin Jiaying was worried that Cheng Xiaoxiao would deal with them, so she sent Liuli to wait at the palace gate and directly welcomed them to the East Palace.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Qishan's mother and daughter had always thought that Lin Jiaying had already followed Mu Xichen, so they were still a little uncomfortable when they stepped into her bedroom. No matter how much the prince favored him without a reputation, after all, his reputation was not justified. On weekdays, they could guess I knew I was pretending to be confused, but now I had to face the fact that they were together, and it was still a little embarrassing.

"Mother, second sister, I've finally waited for you."

Looking at Lin Jiaying with a smile on her face, Mrs. Lin secretly made up her mind and urged Lin Yansheng to ask the prince for a title when she got back. Even if the daughter of his Lin family could not be the main concubine, she would at least be a side concubine, not even Liang Di.

"Princess?" As soon as Mrs. Lin sat down with Lin Jiaying's support, she saw Mu Xirou coming out of the inner hall with Xiao Yingzi in her arms. She was stunned there until Lin Qishan saw the ceremony and was surprised to realize that she was still sitting. She quickly She was about to stand up to salute, but was stopped by Lin Jiaying, "There are no outsiders here, so mother shouldn't be so intrusive."

Mu Xirou also told her not to be polite, and Mrs. Lin let it go. However, she secretly muttered in her heart why the princess was staying at Yinger's place. This question confused her. The princess is so smart, she shouldn't know how to avoid suspicion. Ah, unless...

Thinking that Lin Jiaying was probably still a girl, Mrs. Lin was slightly surprised. What was Your Highness going to do? If you really loved her, shouldn't you have followed the procedure? Why did you let her live in the East Palace directly?

"When will father and eldest brother arrive?"

Hearing Lin Jiaying's question, Mrs. Lin came back to her senses instantly, "They have another hour, and they will go directly to the main hall then."

After Mrs. Lin said she wanted to pay her respects to Queen Xu, Lin Jiaying had no choice but to accompany her, but Mu Xirou did not move. Lin Qishan saw this and stopped following.

When Lin Jiaying and Mrs. Lin arrived at Fengyi Hall, Queen Xu had already received several waves of people, and she was a little tired. However, when she heard that Mrs. Lin and Lin Jiaying were coming, she quickly cheered up and straightened her waist.

Mrs. Lin said she was here to pay her respects, and she really was here to pay her respects. After seeing the greetings, she left without delay at all, which made Lin Jiaying amused. "Why are you leaving in such a hurry, mother? You are not in a hurry."

When she said this, Mrs. Lin herself found it funny, "Isn't this something I'm used to?"

She had always been like this before, never staying in front of Queen Xu.

Not long after the two returned to the East Palace, they all went to the main hall where the banquet was held. At this time, many female relatives had arrived. Seeing Mu Xirou, they quickly stepped forward to salute, but secretly murmured in their hearts, why did the princess come so early? .

"Prince is here!"

"The Emperor is here!"

As the eunuch in charge of ceremonies sang the promise, everyone who was supposed to come came, and a lot of people who shouldn't come should also come. Emperor Zhaoqing didn't waste any words, and directly announced the start of the banquet, and the music started playing after he finished speaking. Get up, the dancers in the priest's square wear light long-sleeved dance skirts and dance to the music in the center of the hall.

Cheng Xiaoxiao glared at Lin Jiaying across from her with a sinister look on her face. Seeing that she was still clinging to the prince on this occasion, she couldn't help but cursed in her heart for being shameless. She was indeed a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. She didn't understand any rules and acted like this. She's so charming, thinking about seducing the prince all the time, it's really despicable.

After the dance, the dancers in the teacher's studio retreated, and a group of strong men walked onto the stage and performed a majestic dance for everyone. Lin Jiaying watched with gusto, "This is right, everyone is here." Those who support should not just consider the feelings of men. Women also have the right and need to appreciate beauty. 】

Mu Xichen smiled and shook his head.

this girl.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the ladies from the capital are not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but are also first-class in horseback riding and archery. Although Xiaoxiao is not talented, she has learned a few things. I would like to take this opportunity to compete with the ladies here so that she can know her own shortcomings. Wherever the place is, I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it."

Emperor Zhaoqing smiled and said, "What is Xiaoxiao competing for?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao said, "The people of Yinan grew up on horses, and they are a bit bullying when it comes to riding and shooting. It's better to make a few punches and kicks, and that's it for everyone."

As she said this, she pointed to Lin Jiaying who was enjoying her meal, "Just Miss Lin."

Lin Jiaying didn't even raise her head, "I won't compete with you."

I thought she was stupid, and I wanted to take advantage of her being an upright person in this kind of situation to attack her, and I wanted her to cooperate.
